The Citizens, whose week in Gauteng might have gone pear-shaped after losing against leaders Mamelodi Sundowns on Wednesday, remain in the hunt, along with Wits, Downs and Orlando Pirates.
'Student' Benni McCarthy, who beat 'teacher' Gavin Hunt - the coach who gave him his professional playing breakthrough at Seven Stars - four times last season, masterminded possibly his best win against Wits yet.They had some early chances. Kermit Erasmus slipped Hlastwayo's challenge and curled one around the post. New Dutch signing Chris David produced a nifty side-heel, culminating in Norodien chipping Darren Keet from the right, past the opposite upright.
McCarthy was never going to allow City - whose final chance of challenging perhaps rested on a win in this game - to not go down fighting. They did more than that, blasting their way back into the game with ingenuity in attack and lightning that struck not twice, but three times. McCarthy seems to have high regard for David, throwing the 25-year-old who once played six games for Fulham in at the deep end with a start six days after being signed.
